South Korea’s army chief, Park An-su, has offered his resignation, according to a report by the Yonhap news agency on Thursday. Park, who briefly served as the martial law commander, tendered his resignation to the country’s defense minister on Wednesday.
This move comes shortly after President Yoon accepted the resignation of Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun earlier today. The back-to-back resignations signal significant shifts within South Korea’s military leadership.
While official reasons for the resignations have not been disclosed, the changes have sparked widespread speculation about potential impacts on the nation’s defense strategies. Many are watching closely to see how these leadership changes will influence South Korea’s approach to regional security challenges.
The appointments of new leaders in these critical roles are anticipated in the coming days, as the country aims to maintain stability and continuity within its armed forces.
